In 1961, Stanislaw Rozewicz created the novella film "Birth Certificate" in cooperation with his brother, Taduesz Rozewicz as screenwriter. Such brother tandems are rare in the history of film but aside from family ties, Stanislaw (born in 1924) and Taduesz (born in 1921) were mutually bound by their love for the cinema. They were born and grew up in Radomsk, a small town which had "its madmen and its saints" and most importanly, the "Kinema" cinema, as Stanislaw recalls: for him cinema is "heaven, the whole world, enchantment". Tadeusz says he considers cinema both a charming market stall and a mysterious temple. "All this savage land has always attracted and fascinated me," he says. "I am devoured by cinema and I devour cinema; I'm a cinema eater." But Taduesz Rozewicz, an eminent writer, admits this unique form of cooperation was a problem to him: "It is the presence of the other person not only in the process of writing, but at its very core, which is inserperable for me from absolute solitude." Some scenes the brothers wrote together; others were created by the writer himself, following discussions with the director. But from the perspective of time, it is "Birth Certificate", rather than "Echo" or "The Wicked Gate", that Taduesz describes as his most intimate film. This is understandable. The tradgey from September 1939 in Poland was for the Rozewicz brothers their personal "birth certificate". When working on the film, the director said "This time it is all about shaking off, getting rid of the psychological burden which the war was for all of us. ... Cooperation with my brother was in this case easier, as we share many war memories. We wanted to show to adult viewers a picture of war as seen by a child. ... In reality, it is the adults who created the real world of massacres. Children beheld the horrors coming back to life, exhumed from underneath the ground, overwhelming the earth."
The principle of composition of "Birth Certificate" is not obvious. When watching a novella film, we tend to think in terms of traditional theatre. We expect that a miniature story will finish with a sharp point; the three film novellas in Rozewicz's work lack this feature. We do not know what will be happen to the boy making his alone through the forest towards the end of "On the Road". We do not know whether in "Letter from the Camp", the help offered by the small heroes to a Soviet prisoner will rescue him from the unknown fate of his compatriots. The fate of the Jewish girl from "Drop of Blood" is also unclear. Will she keep her new impersonation as "Marysia Malinowska"? Or will the Nazis make her into a representative of the "Nordic race"? Those questions were asked by the director for a reason. He preceived war as chaos and perdition, and not as linear history that could be reflected in a plot. Although "Birth Certificate" is saturated with moral content, it does not aim to be a morality play. But with the immense pressure of reality, no varient of fate should be excluded. This approached can be compared wth Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Blind Chance" 25 years later, which pictured dramatic choices of a different era.
The film novella "On the Road" has a very sparing plot, but it drew special attention of the reviewers. The ominating overtone of the war films created by the Polish Film School at that time should be kept in mind. Mainly owing to Wajda, those films dealt with romantic heritage. They were permeated with pathos, bitterness, and irony. Rozewicz is an extraordinary artist. When narrating a story about a boy lost in a war zone, carrying some documents from the regiment office as if they were a treasure, the narrator in "On the Road" discovers rough prose where one should find poetry. And suddenly, the irrational touches this rather tame world. The boy, who until that moment resembled a Polish version of the Good Soldier Schweik, sets off, like Don Quixote, for his first and last battle. A critic described it as "an absurd gesture and someone else could surely use it to criticise the Polish style of dying. ... But the Rozewicz brothers do no accuse: they only compose an elegy for the picturesque peasant-soldier, probably the most important veteran of the Polish war of 1939-1945." "Birth Certificate" is not a lofty statement about national imponderabilia. The film reveals a plebeian perspective which Aleksander Jackieqicz once contrasted with those "lyrical lamentations" inherent in the Kordian tradition. However, a historical overview of Rozewicz's work shows that the distinctive style does not signify a fundamental difference in illustrating the Polish September. Just as the memorable scene from Wajda's "Lotna" was in fact an expression of desperation and distress, the same emotions permeate the final scene of "Birth Certificate". These are not ideological concepts, though once described as such and fervently debated, but rather psychological creations. In this specific case, observes Witold Zalewski, it is not about manifesting knightly pride, but about a gesture of a simple man who does not agree to be enslaved.
The novella "Drop of Blood" is, with Aleksander Ford's "Border Street", one of the first narrations of the fate of the Polish Jews during the Nazi occupation. The story about a girl literally looking for her place on earth has a dramatic dimension. Especially in the age of today's journalistic disputes, often manipulative, lacking in empathy and imbued with bad will, Rozewicz's story from the past shocks with its authenticity. The small herione of the story is the only one who survives a German raid on her family home. Physical survial does not, however, mean a return to normality. Her frightened departure from the rubbish dump that was her hideout lead her to a ruined apartment. Her walk around it is painful because still fresh signs of life are mixed with evidence of annihilation. Help is needed, but Mirka does not know anyone in the outside world. Her subsequent attempts express the state of the fugitive's spirits - from hope and faith, moving to doubt, a sense of oppression, and thickening fear, and finally to despair.
At the same time, the Jewish girl's search for refuge resembles the state of Polish society. The appearance of Mirka results in confusion, and later, trouble. This was already signalled by Rozewicz in an exceptional scene from "Letter from the Camp" in which the boy's neighbour, seeing a fugitive Russian soldier, retreats immediately, admitting that "Now, people worry only about themselves." Such embarassing excuses mask fear. During the occupation, no one feels safe. Neither social status not the aegis of a charity organisation protects against repression. We see the potential guardians of Mirka passing her back and forth among themselves. These are friendly hands but they cannot offer strong support. The story takes place on that thin line between solidarity and heroism. Solidarity arises spontaneously, but only some are capable of heroism. Help for the girl does not always result from compassion; sometimes it is based on past relations and personal ties (a neighbour of the doctor takes in the fugitive for a few days because of past friendship). Rozewicz portrays all of this in a subtle way; even the smallest gesture has significance. Take, for example, the conversation with a stranger on the train: short, as if jotted down on the margin, but so full of tension. And earlier, a peculiar examination of Polishness: the "Holy Father" prayer forced on Mirka by the village boys to check that she is not a Jew. Would not rising to the challenge mean a death sentance?
Viewed after many years, "Birth Certificate" discloses yet another quality that is not present in the works of the Polish School, but is prominent in later B-class war films. This is the picture of everyday life during the war and occupation outlined in the three novellas. It harmonises with the logic of speaking about "life after life". Small heroes of Rozewicz suddenly enter the reality of war, with no experience or scale with which to compare it. For them, the present is a natural extension of and at the same time a complete negation of the past. Consider the sleey small-town marketplace, through which armoured columns will shortly pass. Or meet the German motorcyclists, who look like aliens from outer space - a picture taken from an autopsy because this is how Stanislaw and Taduesz perceived the first Germans they ever met. Note the blurred silhouettes of people against a white wall who are being shot - at first they are shocking, but soon they will probably become a part of the grim landscape. In the city centre stands a prisoner camp on a sodden bog ("People perish likes flies; the bodies are transported during the night"); in the street the childern are running after a coal wagon to collect some precious pieces of fuel. There's a bustle around some food (a boy reproaches his younger brother's actions by singing: "The warrant officer's son is begging in front of the church? I'm going to tell mother!"); and the kitchen, which one evening becomes the proscenium of a real drama. And there are the symbols: a bar of chocolate forced upon a boy by a Wehrmacht soldier ("On the Road"); a pair of shoes belonging to Zbyszek's father which the boy spontaneously gives to a Russian fugitive; a priceless slice of bread, ground under the heel of a policeman in the guter ("Letters from the Camp"). As the director put it: "In every film, I communicate my own vision of the world and of the people. Only then the style follows, the defined way of experiencing things." In Birth Certificate, he adds, his approach was driven by the subject: "I attempted to create not only the texture of the document but also to add some poetic element. I know it is risky but as for the merger of documentation and poety, often hidden very deep, if only it manages to make its way onto the screen, it results in what can referred to as 'art'."
After 1945, there were numerous films created in Europe that dealt with war and children, including "Somewhere in Europe" ("Valahol Europaban", 1947 by Geza Radvanyi), "Shoeshine" ("Sciescia", 1946 by Vittorio de Sica), and "Childhood of Ivan" ("Iwanowo dietstwo" by Andriej Tarkowski). Yet there were fewer than one would expect. Pursuing a subject so imbued with sentimentalism requires stylistic disipline and a special ability to manage child actors. The author of "Birth Certificate" mastered both - and it was not by chance. Stanislaw Rozewicz was always the beneficent spirit of the film milieu; he could unite people around a common goal. He emanated peace and sensitivity, which flowed to his co-workers and pupils. A film, being a group work, necessitates some form of empathy - tuning in with others.
In a biographical documentary about Stanislaw Rozewicz entitled "Walking, Meeting" (1999 by Antoni Krauze), there is a beautiful scene when the director, after a few decades, meets Beata Barszczewska, who plays Mireczka in the novella "Drops of Blood". The woman falls into the arms of the elderly man. They are both moved. He wonders how many years have passed. She answers: "A few years. Not too many." And Rozewicz, with his characteristic smile says: "It is true. We spent this entire time together."
东京街头大跑酷，莫名其妙的人鱼传说，爱的战士老虚有点垮，一个小时没掉头
故事很烂，情不知所起，一往而深，再而破碎…一星给Eve的片头曲，一星给WIT优秀的动作镜头作画，一星陷落的东京默哀……
故事内核是比较老套的，几乎与海的女儿一样。但也算有点进步，这次是王子和公主双向奔赴的故事，两个人两次第一次接触的时候唯美又浪漫。
PS.有人说本片是日版《大鱼海棠》，笑死hhhh
当初看到网飞×荒木×小畑健×虚渊玄×泽野还以为会是惊天巨制，谁能想到WIT用心做动画，老虚用脚写剧本。泡泡末日版美人鱼新编，新也只在背景设定。一度觉得这应该是跑酷游戏改的动画，仿佛看到deemo电影的样子了。不过真的好有钱好华丽好炫技，音乐也爆好听。片尾是泡泡少女在现实环境中的各种剪影，很用心的设计。
在这里，我毛都没听到。
又是画面音乐无可挑剔剧情无力吐槽。日本最近很喜欢搞童话吗？下次是不是换白雪公主或者灰姑娘？看看主创名单，这真是好贵的车祸啊。（你们学什么新海诚啊！学点好啊！
有几帧真的美到心碎。
我真的忍受不了ks某些“人”说日本动画都牛，以前的也没日本的好，什么鬼，呵，只会吹，我怎么不承认别人优秀了，那你承认自己国家的动画也有优秀的，有些比日本的还优秀有那么难?就知道吹
大型mv 主要就是听个响 不要在意那些剧情
#72柏林电影节
虽然早知道剧情寄了，但没想到无聊到这种程度，只想快进看完跑酷结了，剧本改得甚至不如看海的女儿呢。也就wit的作画力挽狂澜
这次改编 人鱼公主 真的是很用力了,
设定也是真的好
2022.4.29 差点都忘了这部4.28上线了！居然是网飞和华纳合作的片子 少见 无脑爽片 画风不错 人物的建模一般 但是场景的画面不错 但是最后1/5懒得看了…有点疲劳 东京沉默的背景 居然是乌托邦世界跑酷 也是有点离谱了 看这片让我想到了龙与雀斑公主 但是龙与雀斑公主好看多了 还有这世界观和新海诚最新那部铃芽户缔很像 一开始人工呼吸救男主 从不会日语后面说的这么流畅怎么可能呢 日漫最近也不知道为啥中意搞“技术流”有点面向未来的动漫的感觉
你不是新海诚，更不是岸本齐史，不要模仿他们的方式自以为是地改写安徒生。
不惜娺一次炸掉 TOKOYO ...
海女这旧瓶新酒里，甜蜜和苦涩底蕴犹存，新增了狂奔和对抗的热烈味道，最后沉淀在即使宇宙爆炸都还相信会再见面的坚定信念里，发酵之味的酸涩被撞击，共振。跑酷元素融合得恰到好处，画面配乐赏心悦目。“那些日子，比所有的一切，甚至比自己的生命，都更重要。因此，即便知道自己的身体正化为大海的泡沫，她依然没有一丝畏惧。” “即使未来这个世界结束生命，地球迎向毁灭，我们到时候仍会成为巨大螺旋的一部分吧。所以，总有一天 再见面吧。“WIT Studio Netflix
日本又双叒叕沉没了！东京再次被隔绝，在《翼神传说》里是木星，《辛普森一家》里是玻璃罩，这儿是巨大的泡泡。剧本就是《未来水世界》下跑酷青年相遇泡泡公主的故事，老虚都不演了，直接引用《小美人鱼》剧本，但相遇基本靠一见钟情，相处基本靠空镜头和日常闪回，还是学一下《悬崖上的金鱼姬》吧。相比过于简单的情节，其实就奇观构建与跑酷动作设计上，WIT还是炫了一把，在大屏幕看应该很过瘾，或者改成游戏。小畑健的思路看来还没从《铂金终局》出来，女主歌和娜赛好像。细想一下老虚还是有点东西的：这其实是个第三类接触SF，某种外星智慧生命以泡沫构建自己的存在，降临地球后其中一员化为人形和人类接触、学习地球的知识，最终懂得爱、确认自我存在后离开。贯穿全篇的那八个音符组成的基本旋律，是在致敬《第三类接触》吗？
虚渊玄有空写这个能不能把魔法少女小圆搞完啊 求求了
